Wikipedia is not a good source to refer to. If you have pure reference material, please share. And all the information provided matters only when honey is preserved well. I don't believe honey can last longer when exposed to air and water. It may be true that honey can last longer than other food items but not without proper preservation.

I know...Im here not to argue with you.. The reference you made to ancient sculptures seemed irrational..Let's agree to dissent(Not with the spoiling of honey)

[bala41288]

Thanks for the dissent and thanks for your un-vote. :) And by the way, I didn't make reference to any ancient sculpture. You keep your ideology with you and I will keep my ideology with me. Thanks for stopping by. :-)

@bala41288 - what @sathyasankar said is correct as sugar concentrate by virtue of being that is kind of immune to bacteria/enzymes which ultimately cause things to go bad. So Honey can virtually remain edible even after long period of time.

However - Just because something is edible does not necessarily mean that it is palatable by a human.

Also @sathyasankar- please find some link to reference stuff from our old scriptures -

Hope this puts the conversation to rest once and for all.
